Are there other strands to your business?

If you have a café with an on-site shop for example, you can benefit from two separate web entries so visitors can easily find you on a website search. Your two entries will be linked together, so if they're looking for somewhere to eat and drink, they can click to view your shop too, and vice versa. Simply choose the multi-business option on the joining form.
